Have you seen Bolivar play? First off I never worry about Memphis teams, because them & 15AA region always beat up on each other! Covington is actually the team to worry about in AA but Haywood has that mental block on them come playoff time Covington will lose! Bolivar will compete with the best in AA! Bolivar is legit, they have the best coach in West Tn! Who do you have in AA? 

I've seen Bolivar, EGYPT, and WOODALE. Both Memphis teams would beat them by 20+

I feel like Wooddale is only in the conversation because of the Lawson boys name. What is around them? I havnt seen or heard about them til now. How good is RE? Haywood will go as far as Boyd takes them. Bolivar is scrappy with shooters, but size will become a factor, IMO. SS looks to be a good contender right now and that's good with no seniors. South Gibson will probably go to Substate again and one of the Memphis teams will scare them out of a State Appearance. It is indeed a lot of ball left to play and it starts with Haywood visiting SS Saturday. I think SS, Haywood or Covington will be playing the 2nd week of March.

Well they beat Whitehaven twice so far this season! One of the best teams in the state in 3A. Wooddale is legit!

Whitehaven still has a really good team...they still have Matthew Murrell, Alvin Miles, the other small guard...Kavion Mcclain and they added a 7'4 and despite what you may hear or see..he's 7'4 and no one else in Memphis added that. They got to the Triple A state title game last year with this team, they can make it back to the state with this team. Bartlett added Collum, with size at 6'8 and got Cincore back even though he's hurt now. That's 6'8 and 6'5 added to a team that was a game away from state last year in Bartlett...both teams are really good and East is still East but not overwhelming favorite like they have been the last few seasons.

McKenzie should be a in the conversation for the top team in West Tennessee single A. Very convincing win over Huntingdon tonight. Only two losses to West Carroll in OT and to Lexington by 6. This team should get to the state tournament.

Will you have to go through Memphis in sub state?

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
